I'm in property management and while my income is decent I live paycheck to paycheck and admit to using my 401k early to make ends meet. I also am a divorced parent of 2. No child support unfortunately but proud to own a home and live modestly.

Fort Wetherill has great cliff jumping. It’s technically not allowed but I’ve never had any problems there myself. I STRONGLY recommend going with somebody who has jumped there before. People have died doing it and it’s best to go with someone who knows the spots that are safe to jump at

A lot of it is old money, but depending on the neighborhood you have pockets of lawyers/doctors

You know it’s funny I never get any credit for what I did for pedo, but that’s alright.

I dunno, I can’t really tell how well off someone is until they retire.

This slime ball was born a fraud. Anybody with 2 eyes and half a brain could see this. He owes vendors from multiple states. I hope they go after his entire family and throw his fat ass in jail. Sew what you reap scumbag.

Wedding photographer here. I do fairly well financially because I have a solid business shooting weddings every year and keep a part time photography/design job with a local newspaper.
Last year was the most successful year of my career financially (All told I took home just under six figures) but I worked FAR too much and drove myself well past the point of exhaustion.
I’m scaling back a lot this year and prioritizing my mental health. I’m 38 now. My business is solid but not something I can do forever physically or mentally so the next five years are about building a foundation and safety net and then looking at long terms passive income possibilities (investing, real estate, etc.)
For someone who grew up with nothing, was the first in my family to go to college and up until ten years ago didn’t really have a direction in life, I’m proud of the things I’ve accomplished but still feel like I have a long way to go.

People probably own really nice houses and rent them out or maybe not even use them for most of the year.

Most friends I had when I was younger that made lots of money and had big houses and boats or multiple houses in other areas were business owners of some sort: contractors, owned electrician businesses, large landscaping companies etc. Also people that have big families where one is a lawyer one is a real estate agent one is a property manager and they set up big real estate ownership groups. Of course all the doctors and such. You also used to be able to live a pretty lavish life with a low 6 figure income you would get by being in management at any company on RI or nearby MA, or a chief of police or fire station... not really possible anymore. At that point you're still upper middle class at best.

I worked with people like that. The image was one of great wealth. The reality was debt up to their eyeballs. One guy had the big house, Corvette, Harley, nice clothes. I work in a union shop. One year we voted to go on strike. That guy was stressing out. He admitted that if he misses one paycheck he could lose everything. That’s more common than you think.

There is no rightfully offended. That's opinion. Great stretch tho.
